The really horrifying thing about re-watching Mystery Incorporated is the realisation that, however awful Fred Jones Senior’s treatment of his adoptive son might be…he still seems to love Fred more than either of Fred’s bio parents, despite having abducted Fred to use as a hostage against them.

Ok, I realise this is a bit interpretation-dependent, but…Brad and Judy were in town for a matter of weeks or months, and by the end of it they were ready to straight-up murder their own son just for a chance at the treasure. (They shoot down the helicopter Fred is in with a rocket launcher, people - there’s no way they meant for him to survive that.) Mayor Jones has been in town, exposed to the Entity’s manipulations for years, and yet he still endangers his cover as the Freak to save Fred’s life in ‘All Fear the Freak’. Even when he tries to steal the piece, he doesn’t actively try to harm Fred - the trap is set off deliberately by Fred after he’s already left, and the Freak looks very unsettled and afraid when he sees the caves flooding, despite being easily able to escape himself. The Mayor is neglectful and emotionally abusive, but he never crosses that line the way Brad and Judy do within months of coming back into Fred’s life.

Added to which…in the Sitting Room in ‘Nightmare in Red’. Fred goes back to talk to Mayor Jones. He doesn’t stop to talk to Brad or Judy’s repressed better selves, to find out if any of the affection they showed him was real, he goes straight to Mayor Jones to tell him he forgives him, and that he was actually ‘a great dad’. Those are Fred’s exact words. Which…so many questions about that. Because what we see of Mayor Jones’s parenting in season 1? Not exactly ideal. Now, this could just be a sign of Fred’s rather tragic, deprived early life, as he’s never been exposed to what real good parenting is supposed to look like. On the other hand, Brad and Judy’s fall to the dark side makes it very clear that the loss of one’s best qualities to the Entity does not happen all at once - the Entity is not as powerful during the first season and the years preceding it, and as such it might have taken much longer to corrupt Mayor Jones than it does for it to corrupt Brad and Judy when it is awake and the time for it to be freed is growing closer. I honestly don’t know which idea is more tragic - that Fred has never known healthy parental affection, or that Mayor Jones really did start out at least trying to be a decent parent, but grew increasingly distant over the years as the effects of the curse took hold.

It says alot about Mayor Jones’s character that he managed to keep some of his inner goodness even through he was exposed to the Curse for YEARS while Brad and Judy gradually lose their goodness little by little to the point that they became uncaring sociopaths that fight even each other in the matter of DAYS/WEEKS.

Not to mention I feel like Brad and Judy weren’t… well, I mean, I’m not sure they were the best of people in the first place?… Or at least, not the best parents; I mean, they straight up decided to bring their infant son to Crystal Cove, full well knowing that the Freak Of Crystal Cove had TOLD THEM to leave and never come back lest something horrible happen to everyone they knew; they decided that this was a safe place to bring their child. And not only that, willingly agreed to hand over Fred???? They didn’t fight it or die trying, like a lot of parents would for their child, but willingly went ‘yep, sure, we’ll hand over our only son and leave him with you, known murder-person’… I mean, I’m not saying they were the same level of bad as they probably weren’t intentionally thinking about it like this, but still…

And the fact that Mayor Jones ALSO willingly handed over his piece of the Planispheric disc to help his son and the gang, like hell any of the others who had a piece would have ever done so over their own dead bodies, including Brad and Judy; they wouldn’t have given up a piece to one another to save their lives; people with the disc normally end up so devoid of empathy and anything besides the curse that they’d kill anyone to get one; Mayor Jones willingly gave them his piece. Hell, they also gave him a second piece; he could have refused to even give back any of them, sure, he’d lose it again, but the curse doesn’t particularly make people logical.

What I’m saying is that even if he was emotionally distant as hell, I’d rather be raised by Mayor Jones than Brad and Judy, if that’s how they respectively treat their loved ones while under a curse.

a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners

What really gets me is like, with all the parallels set up between Makima and Asa, it only highlights how scary Makima was because you could plant her exact dialogue into another person and you just get a lonely, awkward, deeply insecure girl afraid of commitment.

Every one of Makima's red flags weren't colored red by her words, but by her intent, by how she used them. Even when Asa unknowingly tells Denji the exact same things Makima used to tell him, he doesn't freak out or believe she's toying with him. They fight, they make up, they can work together and even warm up to each other, then fight again.

Their dynamic is as equals, and Denji is even willing to do what he refuses to do for himself to help her through her anxieties. The same chapter that has Denji shred his own brain in order to avoid thinking about what Makima did to his loved ones is the same one where he starts talking, seriously talking, about how shit his life was to try to emotionally connect to Asa and save her from (reverse) jumping to her death.

Asa doesn't have Makima's lines to look like she's the next person to mess with Denji. She has them to show that Makima's dialogue, dissected down to their individual lines, would appear completely human on someone else. That's how someone like Makima gets away with it for so long
